*LIFE QUOTES*

"The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving."

Albert Einstein


"The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible."

Albert Einstein


"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

Albert Einsten


"Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning."

Mahatma Gandhi

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves."

William Shakespeare


"How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world."

William Shakespeare


"Anything I've done up till May 27th 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life."

Johnny Depp


"If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?"

Stephen Levine


"Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are."

Don Miguel Ruiz


"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."

Sir Winston Churchill

"Your greatness is measured by your kindness; your education and intellect by your modesty; your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices, and your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others."

William J. H. Boetcker


"In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed."

Sid Caesar


"We are each responsible for our lives and, more important, the thoughts that create them. If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think."

Oprah Winfrey


"One can never consent to creep When one feels an impulse to soar."

Helen Keller


"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."

Buddha


"One must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star."

Nietzsche


"Einstein was right, God does not roll the dice with the universe. Pure chance alone can not guide the simple perfection of physical and spiritual affinity. The universe, in my mind, is not a random stream of mistake and consequence, but a balanced composition of paradox, matter, spirit, and soul."

SYNOPSIS

Sea of Movement is an elegant journey into freedom, power, and the search for unconditional love. The story begins when Nathan Jansen and Billy Windsor, in the midst of a nautical adventure, meet the charming Nikki Thomsen while surfing off the coast of New Zealand. Nikki, longing to escape past trauma and see the world, is thrown into a stimulating ride of independence and self-gratification. But when she chooses between the two friends, the days of simple pleasure are left behind. Her decision leads to heightened tension and a series of self-destructive events that will shatter each of their lives. It's a multi-cultural voyage that takes readers into the intoxicating waters of the South Pacific, through the shattered heart of Bangladesh, and along the rugged interior of Indonesia. With moments of spectacular action, calm reflection, and passionate love, readers will gain a powerful perspective of human emotion.

* REVIEWS FOR "THE ONE" *

"I just finished reading The One. I wish I could shake your hand."

"Whether you grew up in the 1970's in the Midwest, or in another decade and another part of the country, Jeff Kozlowski's book, "The One", appeals to all of us who have ever been a young teenager. It's a powerful story about teenage uncertainty and angst, and the emotional upheaval we all go through when we are making our choices between being cool, supporting those that love us, or being true to ourselves. Kozlowski does not lecture and does not write all about happy endings. He writes about truth; the very real and colorful story of a fifteen year old boy going through "the process". He reminds us all just how difficult, but formative, this time was in our lives and will be in those of our children. Whether you read this novel through the eyes of a young man or a young woman, you will recognize yourself within its pages."

“The One” reveals a raw portrayal about the struggles we all face transitioning through adolescence. Jeff Kozlowski’s remarkable ability pushes the conventionality of adolescent storytelling creating authentic characters that reverberate the emotional chord of the reader."

"The One is a beautiful book about relationships and how blind we can sometimes be at the simplicity of life. Beauty is right in front of us."

"I learned a lot from this book that can help me in the real world. I recommend that all teenagers read this story because it can perhaps give them insight on their own life and help them through problems they have."

"The book made me never want to put it down. The book was so descriptive and flowed so well I felt like I was actually there."

"The descriptive words were so well used that I could picture the setting in my head and imagine I was there. This book was one of the best I have ever read."

"The One was about letting the book get to the reader with a story of morals and mistakes and how one event can affect you for a lifetime."

* ON MY WRITING FROM MYSPACE FRIENDS *

"Jeff's poem, no matter your religion or lack there of, is one that can strike a chord of familiarity with all people. Jeff takes us out of our busy personal lives and unites us with the one thing we all have in common, our planet, our galaxy, our universe. Jeff doesn't tell us WHAT to think, but rather he gives us the opportunity to think, and maybe more importantly, to wonder."

"You are a very talented and deep person, that savors life. It reminds me of the stop and smell the roses refrain. It's refreshing and inspirational."

"Truly incredible emotions and feelings here. Expressed with a sense of potency that leaves me wanting more."

"Wow! I sat down and started reading and I couldnt stop! It is one of those stories you cant wait to read the end of and yet are disappointed that it does end!"

"Beautiful writing."

"Jeff, you possess one of the most amazing and vibrant souls. I look forward to your blogs like the sunrise. I know each one will be unique and always beautifully breathtaking."

"I appreciate your blogs - looking forward to the next and always intrigued by the interaction you promote. You are truly an amazing and caring person who does make a difference in many lives for the better daily!!"


"The manner that you engage your readers to interact and the care and respect you have has been such an inspiration this week as it has since I first subscribed to your blog. You are a kind person and it shows through that you help motivate others and lead them look at life in many different ways."

"Those who are taught by you - I consider as the lucky ones..."

"You've got a gift for keeping people connected where it counts."

"It's good to know you. Keep doing what you're doing! We love your insightfulness & intuitiveness."

"Your writing constantly amazing!"

Hey mate,
Cheers for the good luck! The psych exam I think i did well in. Have passed Theatre with A- final grade. Stoked! Didn't end up getting Sea of Movement as my dad started reading it and wanted to keep it! Its probably a good thing Sea of Movement has the music theme as a bigger focus as it gives it an edge over the purely surfing focused film scripts. I've got my first co-writer screenwriting credit now. Working title is Fortunes Fall, its kind of The Crow meets Ghost. Short film thats being shot in 8 weeks. Its a really realy exciting short that just fell into place with all the little details flowing together. Has many layers to it and was really fun to write. Its quite a dark film but its powerful, its a love-tragedy with obsession, revenge, justice and Love as the major underlying themes. I've even been cast as the Antagonist! Gonna be a challenging role but I think it will be a really big step in the right direction to doing serious acting. Can't wait!

Let me know if you plan to come back to NZ anytime as I would really love to sit down over a hot chocolate and discuss life, love, lessons and all the world with someone who inspires me :D

Thanks again for being an inspiration to me, you've really helped me take those first steps to having the life I want to live.

All the best my friend and much luv,
Oliver

Hey mate,
all is well. Really really busy. Exam time at the moment. So far have passed everything with an A- average. Stoked! Haven't had much opportunity to write the screenplay but have been working out what parts will work well and sussing some issues on how to show things rather then tell them. Think its going to be a good project though and got a producer already keen on it so thats a start. We filming a music video in 2 weeks, first project for the film company. Gonna be great. Will email again soon, hope all is well with you and the fam.

By the way, there is a writers group starting here that is setting up a bunch of offices in a building together for everyone to work in and collaborate/talk while writing. Should be really awesome. Its about time too!

All the best mate, much luv
Oliver
